Liverpool defender Van Dijk: We found a way to win Champions League

Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk says winning the Champions League last season was "surreal".

The Reds defeated Tottenham in the final 12 months after losing the 2018 final to Real Madrid.

Van Dijk said: "There is another way to winning the Champions League. I am very proud of my journey so far and it has not finished yet.

"Winning the Champions League was surreal. I slept only one hour after, then we went straight back to Liverpool after that and then we went on the parade.

"I couldn't keep my eyes open; I was so tired, but it was an unbelievable night, something I will never forget.

"It was just incredible, from start to finish, it's something we all want to experience again, whether it's in the Premier League or next season in the Champions League.

"We will try and go again. Hopefully we can experience something similar in the future."
